Pop

Porch-i-oke is the groovy sing-a-long where the front porch meets the karaoke lounge. Porch-i-oke sings and plays pop tunes like a people-powered karaoke machine. Audience members get lyrics and hand percussion so they can sing and play along. This is our fourth appearance at Somerville Porchfest - and our first year at the Somerville Community Growing Center - we hope you'll join us and sing along! Here's a Spotify list of some of the songs we will be singing and playing: https://open.spotify.com/user/porch-i-oke/playlist/7u2U3jUR7592kYmsQ2szX5

Montessaurus is the house band for Cambridge Montessori School, made up primarily of parents and teachers (with some in a dual role). We play a mix of pop, rock and jazz covers.

Goodnight Blue Moon - Best Roots Act in the 2016 New England Music Awards & Best Folk/Traditional Act in the 2013 Connecticut Music Awards

The Wolff Sisters - With haunting harmonies and songs reminiscent of washed up wanderers on New England’s salty coasts, Rebecca, Rachael, and Kat stole Boston’s heart as The Wolff Sisters (yes, they’re really sisters).

Noble Dust - A motley collection of reformed band geeks, Noble Dust fills festivals and tiny living rooms alike with their dynamic, lyrically-driven progressive folk pop. They recently released their debut LP with a grant from Club Passim's Iguana Fund.

(We probably won't be able to fill 2 hours, and might be interested in joining forces with another band that would like play for up to an hour.)

An acoustic-ish trio (cello, guitar, keyboard) that currently plays mostly hits from the 1980s.

Wayne Wylupski, guitar
Stephen Peters, keyboard+vocals
Alan deLespinasse, cello+vocals

Gritty Titty is not a band with whom one would want to trifle. For as onlookers are dazzled by the Titty, the Gritty is balling up its fist...and you only notice that fist when it's inches away from the bridge of your nose. It's too late to parry or duck. And as the Gritty is shattering cartilage, the Titty is hooking to the body, targeting vital organs. You've been deceived by the dazzle of the Titty. It's too late. The back of your head is dusting the floor. In this scenario, fists are metaphors for rock and roll.

Lady Lupine is a Boston based electronic soul and rock band that delivers thrilling performances of original and covered music. Their sound is a unique blend of poignant lyrics, robust rhythms and alluring melodies. Drawing inspiration from artists like Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Erykah Badu and Santigold, Lady Lupine creates an engaging experience while cultivating visceral connections through sound

An alembic is an alchemical still of two vessels connected by a tube used for distilling chemicals; wendy alembic is a very quiet song, a breath of light, a tinkle of windex.
